Abstract

Finding classrooms can often be a time-consuming task. To address this issue, we introduce CampNav, a comprehensive system featuring an Android mobile application displaying 3D visualizations of campus buildings’ indoor floor maps. CampNav includes a comprehensive set of tools for automated data collection and processing. Allowing users to integrate new buildings maps into the application efficiently, reducing time and manpower. This application is built on Mapbox, a widely-used, semi-open source mapping API renowned for its lightweight and versatile mapping capabilities. We have enhanced its functionality to support 3D indoor display. A significant aspect of the system is the utilization and integration of CNNLoc, a neural network designed for Wi-Fi-based positioning. The initial testing of CampNav has received positive responses by students and faculty members, showcasing its user-friendly interface and effective navigational capabilities. The Surveys and the Net Promoter Score (NPS), indicates students’ strong affinity for this software, with many expressing a willingness to recommend CampNav to their colleagues. The satisfaction rate in terms of time savings is 94% that emphasizes the importance of CampNav.
